bschelle Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I m putting in a rebuilt (Cardone) distributor. Anybody know what size the nut is on the dist. hold-down? Metric/US thread? I am going to buy a dist. wrench and I don't trust the knowledge of the parts guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adallak Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 As far as I remember it was 15mm wrench. Hopefully the new distributor will fix the problem. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Don't know what size, but I am pretty sure it is metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschelle Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Don't know what size, but I am pretty sure it is metric. Right on as usual. It is 15mm. The distributor is in and I will take it for a test ride in the morning. All I have to do is set the timing. The manual says to jumper pins A & B at the ALDL. It looks like there are not any pins in that position on my car. I am looking at the connector by the parking brake pedal. I think the location of A & B are top row left hand side in position 1 & 2. Does that sound right to you guys? I will take another look in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschelle Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 That era of Cadillac....the ALDL is toward the center of the dash..behind a cover.. I checked my manual and it shows the ALDL on the left side by the brake pedal. I do have a connector there but as I said the holes are empty on the first 3 holes on the plug. Could you tell me where you think the plug is in more detail? Do I have to remove any panels to see it? I looked this morning but I didn't see anything.
